Find that description on internet. My question is: reading a route correctly, without any fall at a first time, is it a beginer or a advance climber skill?

I read this forum.

I climb Routes! ;)

Good route reading is a skill we should all get better at all the time starting with Beginners. I do not think one can ever say I have all the route reading skills I will ever need.

Dude, have you been following me around? (Well, except for the bouldering thing - my Mom said bouldering leads to hairy palms. And sport climbing. I don't wanna risk it.)Dale
